Najib’s Last Stand
Filth and Evil never ever changes - it can hide, camouflage itself, but will never deliver benefits.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak kept mum today when asked to state whether he was a proponent of his own two-year-old 1 Malaysia policy that espouses being “Malaysian first”.
Nonetheless, we shall remain united in our fight for justice with one heart, one mind, one soul. One day soon, I know the truth shall prevail through the power of PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE
I bet, at some point, he probably regretted being the reluctant caretaker at the 1st place n was willing to trade all the dough back for his freedom. But it's not that simple, when power players is in play behind. There're consequences judging from the background of that power player. Come to think of it, i personally don't even know anyone who is capable of ordering the killing and was actually THERE to watch her blown to pieces...well, it bring chills down my spine. I don't even have the stomach for that!!!
I'm of opinion, just let ARB of the hook. If we pursue to focus on him too much, then we might put his family in danger, then the real perpetrator might want him to swim with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.
ARB, my advice to you. Disassociate yourself with them. Donate all your ill gotten wealth to charity and consider yourself reborn n lead a simple life with your family. It's always not too late to do the right thing. Maybe someday, when circumstances allow, you might want to tell us the truth of what really happen. I understand that the safety of your family comes 1st at this point .
The country’s sixth prime minister was responding to questions posed by Malaysian students at the Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS) here.
A student had asked Najib whether he was prepared to state that he was Malaysian first and what he thought of his deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s infamous remark of being “Malay first and Malaysian next.”
Najib did not answer the question directed at him.
“I don’t want to respond in a way that will divide me from my deputy.
“1 Malaysia is our guiding philosophy. It does not matter what you say, just as long as you follow (the 1 Malaysia concept),” he said today.
PRIME MINISTER NAJIB
Is this the man?
The custodian of the dying ember?
The man who generations to come will remember as the last man standing, before the new dawn set in?
OR
Is this the man who is going to set in an even more harsh regime?
To ensure he and his team will have a long run on the nation?
Driven by chauvinism, and detested by the international as well as the domestic society?
Is this the start of a dynasty in the Malaysian Public Life?
Does this mean that we Malaysians are so incapable that we need a select few families to tell us how to live our lives?
Are we so dependent that all aspects of our lives need to be controlled?
Are we so handicapped that we need these political dynasties to teach how to interact with each other?
CAN WE THE MALAYSIAN PEOPLE RISE TO THE OCCASSION WHEN THE NATION NEEDS US?
CAN MALAYSIA DEPEND ON US?
Najib is now forced to endure screaming volleys of epithets,. HE ADMITTED HE SENT THOSE SMS THE HIS LAWYER.
WHY Razak Baginda, the fall guy, with no further obstacles or hindrances in sight for Najis in his ascending to the Top Power, has now been released??? The real murderers whose identities are obvious but are still at large, with RPK detained under ISA but just released and PI Balasundram exiled overseas there are no other major obstacles and hindrances to Najis’ ascendancy to the pinnacle of his power come March 2009. This is only obvious that UMNO has now the final say in justice with their man Zaki as the Chief Justice. This is the obvious Justice of Malaysia, the laughing stock of the whole world, Malaysia should be boycotted by the world communities for their greatest injustices towards human rights and common normal justices.

But if the 13th GE is Pakatan’s last stand it is also Najib’s last stand. The writing on the wall is clear. Get back BN’s two-third majority or be pulled down.
Throughout most of Najib’s troubled premiership he has been dogged with odd acts of sabotage by his subordinates especially with regards to his 1Malaysia concept. Things have come to a head now and it is no longer possible to ignore the rumblings of a power struggle in Umno.
Recent events point to this tumult in the corridors of power. The police’s heavy oppression of the Bersih rally bordering on the ludicrous as if to enrage civil society, the flip-flop by Najib on the stadium offer to Bersih (probably forced by hardliners), the leakage to the media of Rosmah’s RM24 million diamond ring, the formation of Amanah and Najib’s cutting short his family holiday to rush back to Malaysia are symptoms of this struggle.
The unjust and illogical detention of the PSM-6 for frivolous reasons can only be intended to weaken Najib politically. Although they have released the damage has already been done. When a deputy Minister starts criticizing the handling of the Bersih rally the fight has shifted to the public arena.
The anti-Najib faction cannot allow him to win two-thirds majority in the next general election or his job will be safe. The conspirators have to weaken him politically and limit the extent of cheating in the polls to give PR a chance.
But they walk a fine line as there is a danger of overdoing things. The 13th G.E. is a David vs. Goliath battle but when two giants battle David may sneak in and run away with the crown.
Civil Society Strikes Back
On his first day as Prime Minister, Najib Razak said:
“Economic progress and better education have directly resulted in the birth of a class of voters who are better informed, very demanding and highly critical. If we do not heed this message, their seething anger will become hatred and in the end this may cause them to abandon us altogether.”
Unfortunately Najib did not follow his own advice nor did he impose this on his subordinates or the instruments of government. The intelligence of Malaysians are being insulted on an almost daily basis as if our society exists in the time warp of the 1970s when access to information was limited and the word of the government was trusted. Whether it is the imaginative reasons manufactured to demonize the Bersih rally, Anwar’s shaky sodomy trial held together by a compliant judge or the speculative suicide verdict of the Teoh RCI, Malaysians are being treated as gullible simpletons.
Civil society is frustrated and infuriated at the government’s lack of respect for them. The government is behaving like a dictatorship and not a democracy. They have taken their frustration to cyberspace and the social media and will find an outlet in the next general election. BN has completely lost the urban middle class. They have also lost the Chinese, the Indians, Christian, the fence sitters and the young voters.
But the people who talk down to others are themselves not smart enough to realize the effect they are causing. There is a sharp disconnect between state and society fostered no doubt by a sycophantic press which deprives the government of valuable feedback. The stage is set for a swing of anti-BN votes to PR by those who want an alternative to an abusive and corrupt government, any alternative as long as it is not BN
BUT WHO ORDERED THIS?

malsia1206vote upI am not a defeatist by nature and I will stand my ground tremain stubborn and even obstinate in my fight for justice. However, I have of late been battling with a voice within me coercing me softly that our obstacles are just becoming too insurmountable. The boundaries and constrains that limit our investigations into alleged crimes of the government or individuals within the ruling party have resulted in all our painstaking efforts being dessimated by them.
Without a fair and honest judiciary system in place, it would be foolhardy to think that justice will be served to the perperators of these crimes. We must realise that the whole government machinery is totally at their mercy to manipulate at their whims and fancy. It is a bitter pill to swallow; heck, a damned bitter pill at that.:

It is true, Razak did NOT murder Altantuya.
However, Razak did call on Najib's 'men' to assist him,
he should have known the worst case scenario - knocking off Altantuya!
In any case, getting 'Najib's men' to forcefully remove or threaten a lady is certainly a crime, if one was to look at it from a civil right point of view.
He should have known the consequences of his action in employing 'strong arm tactics' to remove a defenseless women, who was demanding to see him. This is what lead to the death of the defenseless lady and for that alone, he MUST NOT ...i agree with you. He's just the 'caretaker' who makes a lot of dough along the way. He didn't kill her!!!

Talk of Prime Minister Najib Razak faltering is buzzing all round the coffee-shops that dot the nation, with all eyes wide open to catch a glimpse of who will succeeed him.
The feelings for Prime Minister Najib Razak are mixed. There were some people who believed that Najib should continue as president of UMNO while many more see his career as "finished".
It is surprising to see that a hawker, a lecturer, a lawyer, a teacher and an IT analysis shared the same idea that Najib has to go, while a Malay professional and a BN leader think Najib is still the best man amongst the lot to continue as UMNO president and PM of Malaysia.
Change is necessary, step down graciously
With so much turbulence going on in the country, a lot of which is due to leadership mismanagement, many people are resigned to the fact that if the leadership of the country is not changed in the next general election, Malaysia will stand to lose big in terms of democracy and economy. It will also affect the growth of the nation, with more brain-drain bringing the reality of bankruptcy to the country’s door steps sooner than the officially predicted 2019.
Janet Edwin, a lecture from a college said Najib’s future as a leader in the country is gone, judging him from the way he handled the current crisis facing the country. She felt that he had failed in his role as a husband to the country's top post. Janet said that Najib should gracefully step down instead of being booted out to ‘save face’. Seriously, she felt, he should go as he has made the country look like it’s being run by an amateur, and the nation has become a laughing stock to the world, she added.
“I felt sorry for him as he appeared to be ‘controlled’ in the home ground and he should give his wife a talking down, not the other way round," she pointed out.
Muhyiddin and Mukhriz
Lau, an IT man, shared Janet 'sidea about Najib and agreed that Muhyiddin should not be the next as he does not care much for racial integrity. “And he makes a mess of the education system being the top guy there, what with Interlok and all that. On Pak Lah who might make a comeback, Lau yawns and said, next,” When Mukhriz Mahathir was mentioned, Lau said he was too green in politics and too dependent on Daddy, Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Ah Lung who sells chicken rice ranted about Najib being born with a silver spoon. Ah Lung who praised to the skies the second Prime Minister said it is sad that a son seldom take after his father, especially one born with a silver spoon. “No lah, not his deputy, if he runs this country, there will be more people migrating especially the non Muslims,” said Ah Lung.
He believed that the best PM would be someone from Pakatan Rakyat.
“I don’t care who, just change the government. Let whoever want to be the president of UMNO take over, but the government, we need to change. Just like SUPP, whoever takes over as president is also going to go down like UMNO. They have all been too arrogant in the past,” he added.
Showed his real colours
Voon Shiak Ni, a PKR Women's leader who is also a lawyer, said if Najib had been firm and did as he preached especially on his 1 Malaysia: People First, Performance Now concept, he would have been a great leader.
“Alas, he turned out to be the opposite, not wanting to hear what the masses said, rely on his ill-informed people around him and took a hard stand on issues that affected the people. That is not how a good PM acts,” Voon toldMalaysia Chronicle.
She said although Najib has the look of a kind person, his action said otherwise. “I think he won't be the president again, too much internal rift in UMNO. And Mudyiddin is too racial to make a good president or PM. People will never forget his statement of Malay first, Malaysian next. Ku Li will not make it as he looks too ancient and Pak Lah would be too sleepy to do the job. I think there is no more capable leader who has a firm hand after Dr M but unfortunately he has turned too racial after stepping down,” she reasoned.
Voon felt that Mukhriz would be too green to go for the post. “Whatever it is, let them fight it out as whoever is the next President will face the lack of confidence like that of Najib. Pakatan Rakyat will get a PM ready to fill the post in the next general election,” she stated.
Muhyiddin also not popular
A teacher who declined to be named said he would pick Muhyiddin as the last person to be the country's leader. The teacher said Muhyiddin proved to be a failure as an Education minister and the ministry was in a big mess. His racial tone certainly would not warm him to the Chinese and non-Muslims. "Even, I a Malay, is worried of the damage that would be caused if a country become too racial in nature." he said. As far as he is concerned, Najib is the lesser devil of the two.
Azim, a professor from Semenanjung based in one of the institutes of higher learning here, believed Najib will make it and continue to be the president and PM.
“There is a deep respect for leadership amongst the Malays," he said, adding that he does not think the DPM will challenge Najib. "And Ku Li has passed his time" too.
For the first timer voters, Azim said they tended to vote for Opposition but once they mature, they will realize that there is no need to oppose just for the sake of opposing.
“I am talking not only Malay but the younger ones, who are more gullible as a whole. When we were young, we were more rebellious but as we mature, we look at things in a broader manner,” he said. However, Azim, admitted that Kelantan youngsters will still think PAS is the best in the world.
Azim said in any country, no leader is perfect. And when the going gets tough, the people have to display a more mature outlook instead of worsening the situation. Bersih, he added, will not affect Najib in any way except for the young and internet savvy. “The conservative will still pick Najib over Muhyiddin,” he said.
Anxious to see change
As for Mukhriz, Azim thinks he is still young politically, despite the father’s ambition for him to be the PM in waiting.
A Dayak BN leader likes Najib because he has the "maturity". Najib, said the BN leader, wants to do good but unfortunately, his Cabinet is not with him. Let him win in the next general election, and then he can pick his own cabinet and win the people back. At the moment, his own cabinet are creating problem for him, he added.
In summary, the overall sentiment after speaking to the various interviewees is that whether Najib, Muhyiddin or whoever takes over, Malaysians are wary after over 50 years of the BN regime, which has worsened since the last few years.
The people seem to be more anxious to see a change in the government to get the country out of the gutter to at least on a level as other neighbouring countries
News sources indicate that France has agreed to let Qaddafi remain in Libya if he cedes power. Qaddafi's acquiescence notwithstanding, this is the best decision made by the Western powers so far in the Libyan conflict, not only because the offer presents a reasonable alternative to continued bloodshed in Libya, but because by discarding the politics of revenge for one of pragmatism, France may have created a powerful tool for negotiating with tyrants in other war-torn countries of the Middle East.
For many Muslim countries, successful revolutions lead to an endless quest for revenge on the ousted tyrant and his allies, which forestalls progress in the best case and begets new tyrants in the worst case. Egypt has not progressed since the removal of Mubarak, because a great deal of revolutionary energy is spent debating whether to hang Mubarak and his son, what to do with imprisoned cabinet members and other officials, and how to locate the fortunes stashed away by Mubarak and his family. Egypt is better off focusing on the future by strengthening its civil society, creating national unity, establishing viable political parties to contend with and beat the Wafd party and Muslim Brotherhood, and lastly, convening a robust and healthy election for the new parliament where the new constitution will be drafted. Instead of focusing on a deposed and dying general who is politically powerless, Egyptians need to put an end to the rule of a military that is more than happy to offer more sacrifices to the national appetite for revenge in exchange for a continuing lease on power.
It is unlikely that Syria's Bashar Assad and Yemen's Saleh would cease killing demonstrators and resign if granted permission to stay in their own homeland, protected by their own clan members. But the cost of making the offer is negligible. And no alternative approaches have worked. Caught between rock and hard place, the tyrants of the Muslim world choose terror.
Iran's failed revolution for democracy in 1979 is instructive. The Shah fled the country relatively quickly, after less than a year of intensive street demonstrations and some casualties. At the time, the Shah was under the assumption that he could reside in the United States, where he had previously sought exile status (when the Shah fled the country in 1953 for the first time, he showed interest in living and working on his own farm in the US). Events did not turn out as he had planned, but had the Shah known of his impending demise in Mexico and Egypt, he almost certainly would have demonstrated more resilience against the uprising.
In the last days of his short career, Bakhtiar, the last prime minister of the Shah, made an offer to the mullahs that fell on the deaf ear of hectoring Khomeini. Bakhtiar suggested that he would turn the holy city of Qum into the "Vatican" of Shiite mullahs, where they could enjoy full sovereignty, similar to that of the pope and his entourage in the Vatican. Had the mullahs accepted the offer, a world of mayhem, suffering, and disorder inside and outside of Iran would have been prevented. And the Shiite clergy would have earned a great deal of prestige and power which would have enabled them to maintain their traditional status as the supporter of the poor and powerless, while exerting a great amount of leverage against the Shah's regime. Ayatollah Khomeini would have gone to his grave as the Gandhi of Muslim world, and the Shiites would have fulfilled their historical yearning for moral superiority over the Sunnis.
Instead, the ayatollahs' reign turned the politics of revenge into state policy. Donning the mantle of the avenger of the blood of the third Shiite Imam, the mullahs unleashed an enormous wave of state-sponsored atrocities on the Iranian populous. One of the first victims of the new regime, ordered to death by Khomeini himself, was a octogenarian general who faced the firing squad in his wheelchair. Since then, the politics of revenge have cascaded, and the ayatollahs today maintain their tenuous hold on power through sheer force and brutality, perpetually diminishing their claims to religious authority.
The offer to Qaddafi is a wise choice. In the future, similar offers can be improved by offering asylum outside of the tyrants' home countries. The Iranian ayatollahs, for example, may feel more comfortable with offers of US protection in the Iraqi holy cities of Najaf and Karbala. Though granting a tyrant asylum will pose political and practical difficulties, they pale in comparison to the costs of maintaining the status quo -- the politics of revenge.
